Jessica Whittington

Jessica Whittington is a licensed clinical social worker with eleven years of practice experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family challenges, and career concerns. Jessica creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and begin to make changes.

In sessions she focuses on listening first, then working together to set clear, manageable goals. She uses practical methods to help people notice patterns, build new coping skills, and solve immediate problems. That might include looking at thoughts and behaviors, learning new emotional skills, or finding small steps that lead to bigger changes.

Clients often bring complex issues like trauma, addiction, ADHD, eating or sleeping struggles, and caregiving stress. Jessica aims to address those concerns in everyday language and with tools that can be used between visits. She also supports people facing life transitions, chronic illness, and questions about intimacy and identity.

Her background combines client-centered work with cognitive and behavioral strategies, and she draws on solution-focused and motivational techniques when appropriate. Jessica emphasizes collaboration so each plan fits the person sitting across from her.

People who choose her practice can expect straightforward conversation, practical homework when it helps, and ongoing review of progress. To start, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.

How these approaches work for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help someone feel heard and to clarify what matters most to them. This approach is useful for people who need a calm space to sort out emotions and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Sessions often include short exercises or steps to try between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and handling stress. It uses clear skill practice around emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication, which can help during high-stress periods and in coping with trauma or addiction-related urges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address. That plan can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people continue care while managing work or caregiving responsibilities.
